GROWING GUIDE

Pre-sowing Treatment: Soak the seeds in tepid water for 24 hours.

Sowing Instructions: Sow at any time of the year. Sow very thinly in trays or pots of moist seed compost at a depth of 3mm and place in a propagator or seal inside a polythene bag. Maintain an optimum temperature of 20-25C and germination should take place in 30 days, but could take longer.

Growing Instructions: Transplant seedlings when large enough to handle into 7.5cm pots. Overwinter at a temperature of about 5C. Harden off and plant out when all risk of frost has passed in a sunny spot with well drained soil.
